I downloaded the tiramisu blanket pattern from ravelry you can get the free pattern here. I have started the body of the blanket in a different stitch :
Chain 93, and then do the blanket stitch described here. Continue until work measures 32 inches then proceed with the Tiramisu blanket pattern.

Yoyo afghan made with little circles of 12 trebles in each with DK yarn and a 5.5mm hook

Join your yoyos like this and after you have the size you want surround them with shell stitch. There is a video for solid shell stitch here. instead of doing the starter chain loose surround the edge of your yoyos with single crochets and then shell stitch into these. I did shell stitch on either end of the blanket and then down each side.

I made the pattern for the yoyos using hexagon paper which you can print from here, you can make whatever pattern you want and then just join your yoyos row by row to make the pattern.

I'd love to hear from you about your yoyo afghan if you make one so share in the comments and i'll love to have a look.
